PERFORATED GLOVES
Inspired by fabric gloves adorned with lace, the openwork mill was born and has evolved over time thanks to the evolution of digital technologies.
From die-cut to laser cut, perforated gloves models and designs have multiplied exponentially.
From total to partial, from geometric with rhombuses, circles or triangles to floral with soft, sinuous marks.
Particularly suitable in spring and summer, these gloves can be adapted to both classic and sporty looks.

MULTICOLOURED GLOVES
The well-designed and stitched glove fourchettes (i.e. strips of material running between the fingers) are a particularly complex element in glove making.
In some models, they are made with a contrasting colour on the palm and back to enhance their silhouette and aesthetics.
By adding coloured strips between the fingers, the glove becomes a classy multicoloured accessory.

TEXTILE OVERHAND GLOVE
In the 1950s, Adriano Olivetti opened a factory for state-of-the-art office machines in Pozzuoli, in the heart of southern Italy. The Andreano company was in charge of producing work gloves for the factory workers. Further along, they developed a collection inspired by the work model as a tribute to the excellence and industrial innovation of the time.

PIEGOLINO
The Piegolino glove is a model characterised by small decorative pleats on the leather, often made on the back or around the wrist. These pleats, obtained by manual pleating techniques, give the glove a unique refinement and timeless elegance.
The Piegolino manufacturing technique symbolizes a high standard of craftsmanship, as it requires great skills and precision to create a harmonious aesthetic effect, without compromising the fit of the glove.
The Piegolino glove dates back to the 19th century, when gloves became an indispensable fashion accessory for upper class men and women. This type of glove was often used for formal events and to complement elegant dresses. The Piegolino technique, developed within the European craft tradition, and in Naples in particular, was conceived to enhance the beauty of the material and add a distinctive touch to leather gloves.
